Take A Shot! by Jake Steinfeld and Dave Morrow
A Remarkable Story of Perseverance, Friendship, and a Really Crazy Adventure
By Jake Steinfeld and Dave Morrow
Get ready for the incredible true story of how three unlikely partners – world-famous fitness icon Jake Steinfeld, former Princeton lacrosse star Dave Morrow, and TV mogul Tim Robertson – broke all the rules and beat all the odds to do the impossible: create their own professional sports league from scratch.
But Take A Shot! is about much more – it’s about friendship, adventure, and what it takes to make your dreams come true. When Jake recruited Dave to be his partner, neither had any idea what lay in store. But from Day One, they had a gut instinct they could always count on each other. So, with only a handshake deal, they ignored all the naysayers, weathered every crisis, and shrugged off every disaster on the way to creating something special. From that simple handshake came a rock-solid partnership – and an enduring friendship.
This incredibly entertaining book will take you on a roller-coaster ride through the ups and downs of starting a business – and not just any business, but a sports league built around America’s oldest and most tradition-bound sport: lacrosse.
